Allen CunninghamThe brand new season of Poker After Dark (PAD) on NBC is debuting July 15, but instead of starting back up with the traditional six-handed $20,000 buy-in winner-take-all tournament, the first two weeks of shows will feature a $200-$400 no-limit hold’em cash game.

The buy-in for this game is a minimum of $100,000 and a maximum of $250,000 with a minimum rebuy of $50,000. Fireworks start immediately with the caliber of players seated at theTom Dwan table. The lineup includes Tom “durrrr” Dwan, Phil Hellmuth, Mike Baxter, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, and David “Viffer” Peat.

This will also be the debut of the new hostess Leeann Tweeden. The first episode airs early Tuesday morning at 2:05 a.m., July 14, and will continue in the same timeslot for the next five nights. On Sunday, July 20, at 1 a.m., a special “Director’s Cut” episode will air and recap the week’s action.
